The Sleep Device

I hate it when I’m lying in bed exhausted but I’m just not able to sleep, especially when I have my Hug Me Pillow and I still cant drop off.
Dreamate Sleep Inducer is a device that is said to solve that problem. You wear the device like a watch and within half in hour, they say, you’d be snoring like a fat old baby.
The secret behind this is an acupuncture massage on a so-called ‘sleeping golden triangle’ on your left wrist which helps to relief stress and knocks you out (in a good way). The major benefit is that the effect can be seen in less than a week and within eight weeks – the sales pitch says that we would have our usual sleeping pattern back.
I think this is definitely worth a try, especially if its being sold only for $79.99. There is no price on a good nights rest.
Glass Panes for Birds

If you have a heart for those stray birds that bang against your glass pane in
flight, then I probably think this was made just for you.
Arnold Glas – a German company – created a spider web glass that while look
like an ordinary pain to us, can be seen as a huge web to the birds. The secret
behind it is an ultraviolent coating that diverts birds away from the pane.
With statistics showing that around 100 million birds die by banging into a
window pane, I guess we can say that this is the pane to go with from now on.

Sockification

Ever heard of a robot that does different tasks? Well… that’s old news now, but some scientists were able to teach a robot to pair clean socks together.
The robot when given two socks, examines them and classifies them as ‘inside’ or ‘outside’ and after doing that, flips the sock to make it right, and then pairs them together.
The PR robot – Willow Garage – was taught this trick by a “Sockification” team who won $5000 for this feat.
Pee to save energy

I have often been grossed out when people talk about the possibility of surviving on their own urine. But with the way the world is progressing, it may soon be the case.
I hope your mind (and stomach) didn’t do the somersaults with the previous statement but chemical engineer Gerardine Botte came up with a means of generating energy through urine.
The Botte team reported last year that they had been able to generate hydrogen from urine and confidently stated that progress was being made towards the successful creation of such a device.
So the next time you really have to pee, make sure you collect it. It may come in handy, if you run out of gas.
The Deer Whistle

The scary part about driving cross country is the way those wild deers chose to dart across the road at the exact same time that my car is passing by.
However the Deer Whistle is a new automotive gadget that could probably let me sit back and relax a little bit more. The device works simply. All you have to do is attach the device under your car, as if you are travelling at a speed of over 35 mph, it is said to produce a sound that would make a deer freeze.
The instrument is fitted under the front hood and can be used even by those who are technologically challenged. To add to it all, one can buy it for as low as $7.98.
